Yesterday in Genoa, as in many other Italian cities and elsewhere in the
world, students took to the streets to mark "International Day of
Students’ Rights". They responded very positively to the call made by
"Resistenze Internazionali" and the Association ControCorrente (CWI in
Italy) to participate in the protests. They carried banners and shouted
slogans against the dismantling of public education, the cuts and
privatisation. They were angry about the Renzi government’s harsh
attacks on student rights. Students came from a number of different
schools and colleges in the city. Below is a series of photos as well as
links to videos and coverage in the local and national media of the
protest whish show how dynamic, combative and colourful the protests
were.
